What problem does it solve?
Backlink audits are difficult to complete manually because they require consolidating referring domain data, anchor text patterns, competitor link gaps, and spam risk signals into a single actionable view.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Backlink profile overview: Summarizes referring domains, follow ratio, and domain-level authority signals, then translates them into pass/warn/fail readiness indicators.
- Anchor text distribution analysis: Detects over-optimization patterns (e.g., exact-match anchor spikes) and flags risk consistent with common search-engine spam heuristics.
- Toxic link detection and disavow guidance: Identifies high- and medium-risk link patterns and cross-checks with a verification crawler to reduce false positives.
- Competitor gap analysis: Highlights domains that link to competitors but not the target to prioritize link-building opportunities.
- Top pages & link velocity (where supported): Finds pages attracting backlinks and, when premium sources are configured, surfaces new/lost backlink changes.
Quick Start
Use the seo-backlinks tool on a target domain by asking: “Analyze the backlink profile for https://example.com and identify any toxic links and link-building opportunities.”
